NORTHSIDE HOUSE 2021
After three lockdowns and multiple false starts due to the coronavirus pandemic, we’re delighted to have completed our first project at Northside House, a medium secure unit for men in Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT).

PROJECT INTRODUCTION
After three lockdowns and multiple false starts due to the coronavirus pandemic, we’re delighted to have completed our first project at Northside House, a medium secure unit for men in Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT). The toll the pandemic has taken on NHS mental health services has been critical, especially in secure services where service users have experienced being locked in while the world was locked down. We are incredibly thankful to the team at Northside House for their sustained support throughout the project; ensuring all workshops and installations were carried out in a covid-safe manner.

Phoebe has worked with Hospital Rooms since 2019 in project curation and research.

Phoebe recently met their icon, queer theorist Judith Butler, who gave them a word of advice about pronouns: “language is a living thing” <3.
“It’s a relaxed space where people
get the opportunity to be themselves.
A wonderful distraction
from life on the ward.”
